Its purpose is to strengthen the relationship of the Lutheran students with t heir church. Idle L. S. A. advisors for the past year were M iss M ay Scherer, M iss Helen Creager and I’astor J. Luther Mauney. Once each month on Sundae evenings the interested group gathered at Miss Scherer’s home, “Rosemont,” for supper, after which devo¬ tions and programs on various religious topics were held. The regional meeting of the L. S. A., “Little Ashram, was held at a camp on Hungry Mother Lake near Marion, thereby enabling a number of Marion L. S. A.ers to attend this inspired gathering. The Virginia area meeting in Williamsburg was also at¬ tended by representatives from Marion. Through local, area and regional programs and contacts the Lutheran Student Associa¬ tion trained students in a better understanding of the Bible and helped ecpiip them for church leadership. -d 29 !:
